ai generated text

Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI, has resigned from his position after nearly a decade with the company. He expressed confidence that OpenAI will develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that is both safe and beneficial. Notably, Sutskever was also a member of the board that voted to remove Sam Altman as CEO in November.

    1. Together, we charted the path of what OpenAI would become today.
    2. I have immense gratitude to Ilya for being my co-founder, my friend, and the officiant at my civil ceremony.
    1. The company's trajectory has been nothing short of miraculous, and I'm confident that OpenAI will build AGI that is both safe and beneficial under the leadership of @sama, @gdb, @miramurati and now, under the excellent research leadership of @merettm. It was an honor and a privilege to have worked together, and I will miss everyone dearly.
    2. After almost a decade, I have made the decision to leave OpenAI.
    3. I am excited for what comes next — a project that is very personally meaningful to me about which I will share details in due time.
    4. I'm confident that OpenAI will build AGI that is both safe and beneficial.
    1. This is very sad to me; Ilya is easily one of the greatest minds of our generation, a guiding light of our field, and a dear friend. His brilliance and vision are well known; his warmth and compassion are less well known but no less important. OpenAI would not be what it is without him.
    2. Ilya and OpenAI are going to part ways.
    3. Jakub is going to be our new Chief Scientist.
